nothing to DWELL about...

My firts encounter with a 'lembut' Arab.

That was funny.
We went to Sahara Centre yesterday.
The main attraction was the 70% discount at Home Centre.
I woke up at 10am. We went out at 11.30am.
NIce.. spend DH200 and get a chance to win a Hummer H2.
Ok..im in! ehehe

So..we went rounding.
I went to see some abaya.
Thinking of buying one for Eid and of course, for work.
Expensive stuff. But they are at the same price anywhere anyway.
Didnt buy any.
I bought a capri and pants at Marks and Spencer.

And then went to DWELL.
Was thinking of buying another bath towel.
Hey.. the pillow cases are on sale.
I might as well buy a few, for my future home.
DH19 per pillow case.
Got two. One without price tag, but should be the same price, i tot.

Went to the counter.
Is this the same price as this one?
The guy, i think didnt speak much English, nods.

Scanned and enter. Its DH29.
29? I dun want it then. No point.
And scanned another one, DH19.
Ill take two of DH19.
He looked at me and say i cant do that.
That i need to pay for the 29+19.
I said, NO. i dunt want that.
And he said no...cant refund (and pointing at his large till machine).

Persistence Aida (trying to use her consumer power). No. U must find a way to do refund.
I will not pay for this (he got my DH50 on his hand, by the way).
He made a call.
He was explaining the incedent, i know-of course i am to blame-.
Wait 1 minute ok.
Waited.
Haleema is standing besides me and loudly whispering 'this man didnt know what he is doing'.

Another man came.
The soft arab explained again.
The man bz scanning...and the soft guy been barked at.
Payback..ehehee

Got my change.
Waited for my two pillow cases to be packed.
The soft guy took his time doing that, he went to serve another cust first.
I almost walked off with two pillow cases unwrapped.

Learnt a few things.
1. Be a tough cookie, dont always nod your head
2. The soft guy might be a new clerk, let yesterday be the day he learnt that everything can be reversed out
3. Soft Arab guy is yuckie...
4. The pillow cases are lovely..lovely (sing using Kooala's strawberry song)

When outside, we agreed.
The shop, theres nothing to Dwell about.

And we spent DH600 alltogether.
Got 3 chances to win the Hummer... cross your fingers baby!!!
